Developer Press Play has unveiled a 2D platformer for WiiWare called Max and the Magic Marker. Players will control both Max and the marker – as Max runs and jumps players can draw objects into the environment for him to interact with. Sounds a lot like Drawn to Life. Press Play says it is aiming to make "a game you can play with – not just play."
When Max receives a curious marker in the mail he finds whatever he draws will spring to life. After doodling a monster the beast jumps into Max's other drawings and begins wreaking havoc. The monster has to be put down, so Max caricatures himself into the picture and sets out on his adventure.
Max and the Magic MarkerPlayers control max with the nunchuk and point with the remote to draw. The game employs a physics system that governs whatever is drawn. The more ink you use on an object the heavier it will be.
Press Play hopes to release Max and the Magic Marker this Fall. Fifteen levels are planned, which should add up to around three hours of gameplay.
